Cardiostart Announces Its Inaugural Mission to Lagos, Nigeria June 23-30, 2018 ! CardioStart Announces its Inaugural Mission to Lagos, Nigeria June 23-30, 2018 We invite volunteers experienced in Adult Cardiac Surgery and Cardiothoracic Intensive Care to participate in this integral program-building effort at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. With nearly 200 million inhabitants, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and Lagos is the most populous city in Nigeria. Including its surrounding metropolitan area, Lagos has the largest population of any city on the entire African continent with 21 million people. Yet nowhere in the country (or neighboring countries) is an established cardiac surgical program available. The need to develop centers for advanced cardiovascular care in this region could not be more clear.` In recognition of this problem, CardioStart and its Board Members have conducted several previous missions at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu, Nigeria, which will continue to be supported toward independence and sustainability. The magnitude of need, however, has compelled CardioStart to expand e$orts to 2 additional centers in the country, one located in Benin later this year and the current mission to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH). !1 Lagos is the major hub for international arrivals, and is a coastal city sprawling inland from the Gulf of Guinea across Lagos Lagoon and Lagos Harbour, the main channel connecting it to the Atlantic Ocean. Initially a port city originating on a collection of islands, it is still loosely classified into two main geographical areas & the “Island” and the “Mainland.” Status of Healthcare in Nigeria The Nigerian Center for Disease Control estimates that poverty and pollution have reduced national life expectancy to 47 years old, one of the lowest in West Africa. While health o'cials dispute the number, none dispute the urgency of improving the standard and access to health care in this region. One problem exists in Nigeria with which no one disagrees: When people here die young, they usualy die fom diseases that could have been prevented or treated. Westernization of cities like Lagos has led to increasing problems with hypertension, smoking, obesity & diabetes with no correspondent education in preventive cardiovascular care. Rheumatic heart disease remains a formidable problem with aggressive valvular disease and heart failure commonly developing by the late teenage years and early adulthood. There is no consistent cardiac surgery performed anywhere in the country except during missions. Lagos State University Teaching Hospital LASUTH emerged from a modest cottage hospital established in 1955 when the need for a tertiary health facility for training of doctors and other allied health care professionals became apparent. The Lagos State Government formally converted the Ikeja General Hospital to LASUTH in July 2001. Despite its relatively young age, it has become one of the foremost teaching hospitals in West Africa, and is perfectly positioned to serve the most densely populated city on the African continent while developing young trainees to provide high standards of care throughout Nigeria. To get a glimpse into the CCU building at LASUTH where we will be working, see this brief video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvLB1DOEbhc&app=desktop. !2 The Lagos State Government has been intimately involved in CardioStart’s preparations to support this program in its progression toward self-sustainability. They have insured that the hospital has the proper infra-structure to support cardiovascular surgery, and share our collaborative commitment to provide equal access to care for the indigent. Team Composition & Volunteer Concerns The June 2018 team will include the following positions: 2 Surgeons 1 Perfusionist 1 CV Anesthesiologist 1 Scrub/CVOR Nurse 1 Cardiologist 1 Echo Tech 1 Intensivist 6 CV ICU Nurses 1 Biomedical Engineer 1 Respiratory Therapist 1 Database/Researcher This mission will be directed by Dr. Emily Farkas, who performed the first heart surgery in Nigeria in over 10 years in March 2013 at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu. Dr. Farkas has completed multiple additional missions in Nigeria and worldwide and is familiar with the local culture and our collaborating clinicians. Volunteer safety is a very high priority for CardioStart International, and although there has never been a safety incident during any of our missions in West Africa, a dedicated team of Nigerian security sta$ will be assigned to accompany our team members to alleviate concerns of volunteers or their families. The vast majority of all unfavorable media-attention in the US and UK focus on the Northeastern part of the country, which is many states away from Lagos with a distance similar to the >1000 miles between Miami and Chicago. !3 This inaugural mission to Lagos represents an excellent opportunity for CardioStart volunteers to make a meaningful di$erence o$ering real-time skill-transfer, education, technique demonstration, and best practice & protocol implementation to allow LASUTH to safely initiate a program to serve the community which desperately needs their assistance. Over 95( of the people in Nigeria live without essential medical services. This is an opportunity for those of us in a position to e$ect change to greatly help those less fortunate. Travel Logistics International airfare costs will be self-funded by each volunteer. Flights should be arranged for travel to & from Lagos (LOS, Murtala Muhammed International Airport). Please do not purchase a ticket until you are accepted on the team by written confirmation. Lodging will be provided in a safe & excellent local hotel by our hosts. Volunteers should expect that they may be asked to agree to same-sex room sharing in order to help reduce cost. During the day, meals will be available and provided by the hospital. Evening meals/snacks, etc. are available in the hotel or local restaurants, at volunteers’ own expense. They are generally of a high standard and inexpensive. Touring Touring attractions and arrangements locally and for other points in Africa can be pursued from Lagos, but must be undertaken before or after the mission. Beaches line the Lekki Peninsula running east from the city, while inland, the Lekki Conservation Centre o$ers wildlife and !4 trails. The National Gallery of Modern Art shares a building with the National Arts Theatre, and showcases works by Nigerian artists. Local arts and crafts can be found at colorful Lekki Market, and at private galleries across the city. To the west, the town of Badagry contains sites and museums documenting the town's history as a slave port, including the Badagry Heritage Museum. North of the center, the life of Lagos musician Fela Kuti is celebrated at the Kalakuta Museum. Lagos is considered by many to be "the Big Apple of Africa” and is famous throughout the continent for its music scene. HOW TO APPLY: Please visit our website at http://cardiostart.org/volunteer-interest-form, complete the Volunteer Interest Form and upload your CV/resume. Upon being accepted on the team, you will receive additional correspondence from CardioStart via email with information on how to proceed in submitting necessary paperwork and documentation !5.

Chimezie University of San Francisco Sally N. Ibe Federal University of Technology This study explored the prospects and challenges of introducing advanced practice nursing (APN) in the Nigerian health system. It sought to address the following: career pathways for registered nurses and midwives, advanced duties performed by them and the circumstances, their views and willingness for autonomous practice, and doctors’ degree of acceptance. Research population composed of registered nurses, midwives and medical doctors in primary healthcare. The conceptual framework for this study was based on the scope of practice, standards and competencies of the APN established by the International Council of Nurses (2008). A 12-item checklist of typical duties of APN from the framework provided a guide for the design of eight main questions and 19 subquestions. Data was collected from 17 participants through in-depth interviews and group discussions and analyzed using Charmaz’s three simplified methods for qualitative data. Findings were that (a) registered nurses and midwives are constrained to perform advanced duties, (b) doctors delegate advanced roles to nurses and midwives, (c) nurses and midwives lacked pathways for advancement, (d) APN would substitute for doctor shortage, and (e) advocacy and lobbying has to done by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria to change the current policy. The social change implication is that it offers insight into the potentials for APN in healthcare delivery. Keywords: advanced practice nursing, advanced nursing, nursing education in Nigeria, healthcare in Nigeria, health workforce development, primary healthcare in Nigeria Introduction Background Nigeria’s three-tier health system is managed in accordance with the three tiers of government: the local (primary), state (secondary), and federal (tertiary).

A word from Mydrim Gallery Mydrim Gallery is exhibiting the works of ten talented artists painting in oil, acrylic and pastel in its third series of GENERATIONS: THE FUTURE MASTERS. The series was the idea of one of Nigeria's master artists, Abiodun Olaku, who was concerned about the declining standards of draughtmanship and skills amongst young artists. His objective was to create a platform which in Olaku’s words would enable “the underprivileged, stied younger generation artists in the brand crystallization process to showcase their unadulterated creative prowress in its purity”. In this group exhibition featuring carefully selected pieces, the artists have been able to portray everyday life and issues in their own peculiar styles. We are very pleased to have been part of the artists' various journeys and to have witnessed how their works have evolved over the past three years.

  • Nigeria's Financing of Health Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Nigeria’s financing of health care during the COVID-19 pandemic: challenges and recommendations Aregbeshola, Bolaji Samson and Folayan, Morenike Oluwatoyin The University of Newcastle, Australia, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria January 2021 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/105293/ MPRA Paper No. 105293, posted 25 Jan 2021 02:47 UTC Nigeria’s financing of health care during the COVID-19 pandemic: challenges and recommendations Bolaji Samson Aregbeshola The University of Newcastle, Australia Morenike Oluwatoyin Folayan Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria Abstract An analysis of the financing of Nigeria’s health care system in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, using three key health care financing indicators: revenue collection, pooling, and purchasing was conducted. Nigeria projected that it would need US$330 million to control its COVID-19 pandemic. However, it raised more than US$560.52 million, of which more than 90% came from the private sector and the donor/philanthropist community. The pooled COVID-19 fund is mainly being expended on temporary public health and clinical care measures, with little invested to strengthen the health system beyond the pandemic. The poor turn-around time for COVID-19 test results and the huge stigma associated with the disease results in most persons with mild to moderate symptoms seeking care from alternatives to the healthcare institutions designated for COVID-19 health care. The huge out-of-pocket expenses, and the inability of most Nigerians to earn money because of measures instituted to contain the pandemic, will likely cause many Nigerians to become economically impoverished by the COVID-19 pandemic.
